I just added a page to this blog. See the tab on the far right at the top - the one that says BAG-A-BOOK? I wanted to share the very cool concept of journaling/scrapbooking on a book made from paper bags. This is a great project for students and teachers, parents and kids. And well, just about anyone. A paper bag journal can be as simple or as sophisticated as you want it to be.
Click on the tab and see the one I made to celebrate one of my favorite picture books.
I've included some instructions in case you want to try one for yourself . Oh, and if my instructions or photos are really unclear, do me a favor. Let me know and I'll tweak them.

Very, very cool. I am going to try this this coming weekend. I'll let you know the results. It looks like a great thing to do with the kids when they visit. Thanks for sharing this.
I left a message. And it used an old unsed account for some reason.. Sorry about that. I probably did something wrong since I am also sky ping with my daughter in China at the same time.
Super cool idea! Thanks for sharing, Joyce. I may know some boys who will love this project.
Yay, Amy and Alex. I think you'll enjoy. So many possibilities! Let me know how the young people in your lives like it.
Clever you, Joyce! What a fun project to do with kids at home or in the classroom--and perfect for some special Holidays coming up! I love Patricia Polacco's book about Mr. Falker. It's such a poignant story.
glad you posted this on your blog. I just might have to connect to it... in one way or the other!
This is a great project. Crafts that work at home or in the classroom are winners.
Thanks, Marcia, Carol, and Clara - I'm glad you liked it. The possibilities here are endless - I've listed a few in the upcoming issue of TALKING STORY. So watch out for them!
Joyce,
Great idea! I was going to suggest including it in the next newsletter, but I see you're way ahead of me.

Linda, thanks for thinking of the newsletter. That is actually what inspired the post since I needed to link to some sample work.
Carol and I tried this with a group of teachers at NCCAT and their creativity was boundless!
